SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON COLORS Purple and Gold FLOWER Violet OFFICERS William Lee ----- Gus Jones Leland Leatherman - - - Will Patton ----- President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Sigma Alpha Epsilon was founded in 1856 by eight students of the University of Alabama, who had become hard and fast friends. In its early days it remained in the South, the first chapter north of the Mason and Dixon line being established just before the Civil War. At pres¬ ent the orders number one hundred and eight active chapters with an initiated membership of over 37,000. Working in collaboration with the active chapters are one hundred and five alumni associations in American cities and Paris, France. Of these, there are three in this state. Publications are fraternity histories, directories, secret publications, and the periodical magazine, “The Record ’ which is a quarterly with a circulation of 30,000. National headquarters are maintained at Evanston, Illinois. In the National house, owned by S. A. E., there is a large library of books concerning fraternity subjects in general and a museum devoted to the American college fraternity. Conventions are held biennially, and in alternate years province conventions meet. The local chapter, Arkansas Upsilon, was estab¬ lished on the University campus in 1894 with a chapter enrollment of seventeen. pr n r ,t, py

KAPPA ALPHA FLOWER Magnolia OFFICERS Samuel Berry Thompson - John Cartinhour Nelson T. Segraves - T. Bailey Mourning - President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Kappa Alpha Order was founded December 21, 1865, at Washington and Lee University. The bleeding South was just emerging from the Civil War, and four students of what was then Washington College banded together to start a movement to foster and maintain the manners, customs, and ideals of the Southern people. They looked to Robert E. Lee, who was at that time president of Washington College, as their ideal. Kappa Alpha has confined itself to the South. The order now has sixty-seven chapters located in the principal colleges and universities of the South. Alpha Omicron was installed April 27, 1895. Before binding itself to the national fraternity, it was a local fraternity of ten men. The Kappa Alpha Order is organized in seven provinces and these officiated by Province Commanders, Secretaries, and Alumni Historians. Over these provinces are a Knight Com¬ mander, a Grand Purser, a Grand Historian, and a Chief Alumnus. Professor Allan S. Hum¬ phreys, a member of the local chapter, is now serving as Grand Purser. Official publications are the Kappa Alpha Journal, the Special Messenger, Directory, and Kappa Alpha Song Book. Page 196
